Two hits in return to action Rodriguez (foot) went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Mets on Friday.

Impact Rodriguez was back in the lineup and starting in center field after missing Tuesday's and Wednesday's games against the Athletics with nerve irritation in his foot. The brief down time didn't do anything to cool off the outfielder's scalding hot bat, as he produced the only multi-hit effort of the night for Seattle and his 14th such tally in the last 23 games overall. Rodriguez pushed his average and OPS to .288 and .831, respectively, with Friday's production, the highest either of those figures have been since April 8.

Impact Rodriguez has missed each of the last two games with a nerve issue in his left foot and had been set to have the foot further examined. The team doesn't seem to have any concern that it could be a nagging issue, though, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect to be without the star outfielder much longer. Rodriguez finished August with a 1.198 OPS and seven home runs.

Out of lineup Wednesday Rodriguez (foot) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact Just as manager Scott Servais suggested earlier in the day would be the case, Rodriguez will hit the bench for the series finale while he manages a nerve issue in his left foot. Per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, Rodriguez said he plans to get his foot further examined, though the star outfielder described those upcoming tests as precautionary. The Mariners are off Thursday, so Rodriguez could have a good chance at returning to the lineup Friday versus the Mets if his foot shows some improvement.

Impact Rodriguez was scratched from Tuesday's lineup due to a nerve issue in his left foot, but he's feeling better after treatment and it's possible he'll be added to the lineup later if he shows Servais he's ready. The Mariners do have an off day Thursday, so they could give J-Rod some extra rest and bring him back Friday.

Battling foot soreness Rodriguez was scratched from the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics with left foot soreness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The severity of his injury is unknown, but Rodriguez's foot will keep his red-hot bat out of Seattle's lineup for at least one game. The slugging outfielder has recorded homers in each of his last three games while driving in seven runs in that span. Cade Marlowe will enter the lineup as Rodriguez's replacement in center field, while Rodriguez is considered day-to-day.
